Talk About a Calorie-Filled Day!
This week we have relatives visiting and that means some eating out. Oh my…I thought I was going to get sick earlier today after having fried perch and french fries at a local restaurant. At one time, I could easily eat the 5 pieces of perch and 2.5 cups of fries. But not anymore. I ended up taking some perch home because I couldn’t finish it. I also have a bad case of an upset tummy.
I don’t want any more greasy foods for quite a while. I could taste the oil in my food and it started grossing me out. Things I used to eat are starting to taste different now, usually for the worse. I’m not sure why that is happening, but I view it as a good thing.
I’m pretty sure I still was able to burn all of the calories I ate today because I burn a lot of calories normally in a day because of my weight. But still…I don’t think I am going to forget eating that meal anytime soon. It makes it a lot easier to grab for some fresh fruit or a salad versus the fried foods.

Heh, funny how we always feel like we’ll never binge again after a big meal. It’s like my college days, except back then it was always about waking up on a sunday morning and saying “I will never drink beer again!”. Of course, that only lasted until next Friday…

Tricia, I’ve come across you via your Debt blog. It’s amazing how what we eat really influences how we feel. I’ve had some family issues recently with aging parents and have totally gone off my weight loss eating and exercise plan. Two weeks of this and I’m feeling low energy, low confidence, I’m having trouble sleeping, and I’m getting achey. Of course, that could all be depression too … but I have a feeling that starch and sugar are really to blame.
Time to cut it out and get back with the program, eh? While I don’t subscribe to any specific diet, what seems to work for me is a hybrid of Atkins and Weight Watchers. Keeping a log of your food (isn’t fitday great?) and keeping the starches and sugars low seems to be the most effective for me, and lets me feel good, not starved.
Almost every plan has some nugget of good information. My suggestion is to read all the books and see what works for you. While you’re tracking in Fitday you’ll have the measurements to determine what really works for you. “You: On a Diet” (I got it out of the library) is a great place to start. It has one of the best discussions I’ve seen of the chemistry involved in how we store and process foods.
I’ll be keeping my eye on you!
Best wishes,
Sarah
I always notice the same thing when I eat properly. I never feel quite the same about my favorite comfort foods when I eat healthy. It is definitely a good thing.
